The present invention relates to an improved closure for collapsibletubes or the like of the type in which the sealing cap for the tube iscarried on a pair of arms mounted on the tube or the like to swing toone side of the exit orifice in the neck of the same when desired, butwhich can be screwed down over this.

In the improved constructlons of the present invention projecting eyes,pins or other like means are provided on the body of the capsule toreceive and form pivotal connections 'for the ends of the arms carryingthe cap.

The invention is more particularly described with reference tov theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a view showing a tube withthe improved closure.

Fig. 2 1s a partial v1ew showing a modified form,
